I cried when I was watching this. A lot. This place is so amazing. There are 26,000 year old footprints from an 8 year old boy there. I mean. Just. This cave is like a holy place for humanity.

When he mentioned that there are some (tentative?) plans to duplicate the cave elsewhere as a kind of theme park, the idea just sounded obscene to me, idk.

This is one of the most amazing pieces of art I have ever seen. Anyone who enjoys drawing and likes comics knows how skilled you need to be to make such beautiful,works of art. To draw them in a cave, in the darkness and only allow the viewer to see them by the light of fire... A cave is a form of "sensory depravation chamber" - nothing to distract you, no sounds, lights, wind, rain, smells, so the effect of artwork presented like this is very strong.

It is cinema before cinema existed.

art ownership is something woody allen's wife does in small time crooks.

f for fake is what groovy people like me do.

these days the people who enjoy art are viewers without an ego or the impulsion to be eternal and a means to an end. these days, art is that which subjects the world to a display of representations.

herzog is central to the modern consciousness, comparable to pessoa. one doesn't build one's concsciousness in physically present conversations, one does so with herzog's films.

Poor soul, I've never read comments filled with such hopelessness.

I believe you, sir, are the hipster, for it was well said by all the schopenhauers since the end of the 19th century that art is to be a mediocre imitation of schopenhauer. these days, schopenhauer would be busy fapping away at xhamster and downloading terabytes of data before your ilk that detests art and desires everything should be linked together and denied art shuts down the internets. i, the artist, intend to be forgotten and to dld terabytes of copyright data valued in your millions of $

Oh my, do we have a hipster on our hands? Yes I "own" the art, it's in my possession at this point in time and will go down to my children after me. Have you ever heard of someone having an art collection? You have to own the art to have a collection of it.

ownership of art, are you kidding me? thats pretty moronic both if its modern or premodern

werner herzog ftw

lamestream media can suck on my balls

Or maybe it's called a difference in opinion? Open your eyes, diversity is what makes life enjoyable.

Pretentious douchebag;)

I despised this film to the point were I couldn't finish it. There are points in the film were they interview a guy WHO WAS A CLOWN! There was guys sniffing walls, some guy tried and failed to relate a crocodile to the cave and the worst part of all, there were parts in the film were they wouldn't let you see the other side of the art and they make you take your word for it on what's over there. As someone who owns hundreds of thousands of dollars in artwork alone, this film was atrocious.
